My favourite quick dessert to make recently has been an apple crumble. I don’t need a recipe and once I have an apple or 2 I have all the ingredients at hand. Peel, core and slice. Mix in nutmeg syrup (or honey) and add liberal amounts of cinnamon and less liberal amounts of clove. A touch of lime. Throw in a baking dish and top with a varying mixture of flour/oats and butter with some sugar. Spice up the crumbly bit if you want. I like it spicy. make enough crumble to satisfy everyone. Every bite of apple should have enough crunchy topping. Bake till done. And brown to your liking.
I’ve never been a huge fan of apples. Except in apple pie. And crumble. I like them. I eat
them. I had issues with their water content and the fact that they were always imported and
therefore highly prized for the name, or the shiny exterior and the foreignness. Sometimes they seemed more water and skin and no fruitiness. But then I have issues with fruit sometimes. I’m a fussy person sometimes when it comes to food. And I don’t like change. And it’s hard to make decisions that involve spending major amounts of money. Whether or not I can afford it, I’ve been raised to be naturally frugal, at least in outlook. And that makes shopping for new things a hard road. Look how long I took to choose between the Nikon D80 and the Canon Rebel XTI!
What does this have to do with apples, and oranges and crumbles? Well, some people
tried to hint at it this morning. Remember my monitor dying been profferred as my
reason for intermittent blogging back in January? Well, I crumbled. And I bought an Apple. No oranges here, I apologise for the blip in the truthfulness of my title. My very first Mac, a Macbook. In black.
Let the revolution (peaceful and only in part, as I still am PC at work, and with my old HP now my entertainment centre) begin.
